Well like wee96 said cable providers don't like having that much speed on UL so they'll find it sonner or later. But all I can say for now is to go over to your friends... And enjoy hosting those game servers with no lag... While you can. Peace:2cool:

a friend of a friend of a friend had a big ol keg party and this real drunk frat daddy peed on my friend of a friend of a friends' modem and we were all dying laughing and then we went to get some more MP3s downloaded before the modem totally blew up (we thought) but man when we were d/ling the files we noticed people were uploading at like 1.5mb man it was blazing

needless to say the kegger was at rodrod5s' house the next night
